Fig. .'30. — Triirntruii decoratus. 



ocbraceous ; tegmina subhyaline, talc-like, the veins ochraceous, 

 base ferruginous-brown, a broad black transverse fascia crossing 

 middle, widened at costal area : pronotal lateral processes as seen 

 from above short, strongly recurved, gradually narrowing to apices 

 which are obtusely acute, their anterior mai-gins rounded, viewed 

 from the front much more slender; posterior process moderately 

 short, robust, impinging on tegn\ina, centrally strongly raised and 

 carinate, the central carinatiou finely continued through pro- 

 notum, its apex subacute and about reaching the posterior angle 

 of the inner margin of tegmina ; in front of pronotum are two 

 small foveate dark spots situate rather near the inner margin of 

 eyes.

I am indebted to Prof. Bolivar of Madrid for being able to 

 examine liuckton's species, of which the figure given by that writer
